Studio on Fire, Letterpress






Studio On Fire is an amazing design/letterpress studio. They are constantly doing great work including custom jobs, stationary, cards, and have some pretty designs of their own.

Letterpress printing is a type of relief printing, meaning that the inked letters or image is literally pressed into the paper with a printing press, giving it the very distinct and tactile quality that most people recognize.

Originally used with movable lead type, today’s designs can be created with polymer plates, hand-cut linoleum or wood, or metal engravings.

Combined with original design and a variety of papers ranging from chipboard show cards to 100% rag artisan papers, there is an incredible amount of versatility, allowing for truly original custom work.
